Essentials
Use the berserk wisely.

At the start, face left and drop down the ledge. Turn right and move straight forward until you find a candle. Opposite the candle are some stairs so climb them. Continue straight forward and turn left at the end. Position yourself slightly to the right of the pillar, facing it, and drop down the ledge, landing on the red key platform. With the red key in hand, move towards the candle mentioned previously and you'll spot a door marked by two red torches, which is the red door. Open it to find the exit portal.

Secrets

 * 1) Near the red door, you can lower a part of the southern wall that has a candle in front of it to reveal a passage that leads to the room with chaingun and some health bonuses. The pedestal with the chaingun that lowers after entering the room is marked as a secret (sector 59)
 * 2) Go along the high ledge above the red key platform back to the starting point, where you will find a megaarmor. (sector 130)
 * 3) After stepping on the platform with the red key, quickly jump off and head east until you notice a teleporter. Enter it before it closes to teleport to an alcove with the super shotgun. (sector 92)

Routes and tricks
It is possible to do a well-timed strafejump from the starting ledge to the red key platform, saving a lot of time.
